Liberated by God

She smiles through many tears
Inside she hides many fears
inside she feels the pain
inside she is broken
inside her heart is cracked


From childhood on
she has been a punching bag
she has been a sex object
she has been a put down


how can you expect
her to trust ever again


Will her heart ever mend
will her fears subside
will her pain go away
will her tears end


When you are treated like crap
you think you are like crap
you feel that you are like crap


No one respected her
no one really loved her
no one seemed nice to her


When all seemed hopeless


God was there
Through it all
God was there
holding her close
God was there
with her again and again
God was there
through she feels alone
God is there


When others let you down
God is there
when others hurt you
God is there
when others abuse you
God is there
When others fail you
God is there


She cries happy tears
She lets go of all her fears
She lets go of her pain
no longer broken
and her heart is scared
but not cracked


She is a woman
She is a mother
She is a friend
She is a sister in Christ


She is free from all the pain
free from all the shame
free from all the guilt
free from the negativity


She is...
